ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week on The Thrive Coaching Podcast, Tara and the Thrive Coaches are back with another packed client Q&A. This episode covers a huge range of ground — from training around an injury when your steps are limited, to finding the right balance between weight training and cardio classes without tipping into overtraining.
We also get into the nutrition side of things — savoury breakfast ideas beyond the usual eggs and avo, whether electrolytes and extra supplements are actually worth it, and why your MyFitnessPal calories might not match the recipe. Plus the mindset stuff that trips so many of you up — binge eating, getting back into routine after a heatwave, and the one habit that actually moves the needle most.
If you've ever wondered whether running outdoors stacks up against the erg bike, how many inches you should realistically expect to lose in a month, or why the scale creeps up even when you're doing everything right — this episode is for you.
